Our claim is that the French and Indian War was the war that made America. We believe this because if the British wouldn't have won they wouldn't have issued a paper tax on the colonies and the colonists would not have felt as if it was unfair and the American Revolution most likely would not have happened. Also if they British did not win they would not have issued the Proclamation of 1763 not allowing them to move west leading the colonists to falsely believe they could move out west.
